Article Synopsis
- Self-harm is when people hurt themselves, and it can really affect their lives. There aren't many effective treatments available, and some people have trouble getting help or have to wait a long time for it.
- Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) is a kind of therapy that might help people who self-harm, and this research is testing if it can work well in a larger study.
- The study will involve adults with a history of self-harm receiving CAT along with regular treatment, with interviews to see if they find it helpful and easy to access.
